Michael Marten said he would pay tokeep his feed as it is.

He tweeted: “Hey, @instagram, I’d pay a (reasonable) annual fee if that gave the option to keep a chronological feed.”

The site said the changes will mean users are less likely to miss things they most want to see – stating that currently users miss on average 70 per cent of their feeds.

Announcing the change earlier this year, Instagram said: “The order of photos and videos in your feed will be based on the likelihood you’ll be interested in the content, your relationship with the person posting and the timeliness of the post.”

It pledged to take the thoughts of users into account.

The post added: “We’re going to take time to get this right and listen to your feedback along the way. You’ll see this new experience in the coming months.
